Modeling in modo 401, Part II

In modo 401, Profile modeling is introduced —
enhancing operations like extrusion or sweeping
via the use of 1D and 2D profiles. As you model,
you can select from various profiles to easily create
things like handrails or crown molding in a house.
You can also build your own profiles from lines and
curves for later re-use. The new Instance Replicator
can be paired with familiar tools to let you add details
to your scene quickly. modo 401 also allows for the
transfer of vertex information from one model to
another, including morphs. This lets you, for example,
re-purpose existing character expressions (like a
surprised look with raised eyebrows) to another mesh.
